Test Drive Meme 2.





These are the mem’ries that last.
These are the mem’ries that will never pass.
And time waits for no one.
It’s gone in a flash.
And only the mem’ries will last.




Prompt 1:

he forest looms, uninviting and full of menace, an unwelcoming place for sure. Time to go explore! It isn't as though there's anywhere else to go, now that you've looked around the Town.

The trees whack at you with branches that have far too much mobility for normal trees, strange and mutated animals watch from the shadows and boughs, and there’s the constant, constant sense of being watched --

But eventually, nonetheless, you’ll come across a small house in the forest. It sticks out like a sore thumb, bright and colorful, which is probably the first warning that something is way off, and it’s...covered in candy. It’s a candy house! It looks delicious.

(It’s empty, too, not a single soul in it, without even furniture, but everything is otherwise edible and utterly delicious.)

But if you eat the candy? You’re going to have a terrible, overwhelming urge to do one of two things:

  • Fight the first person you see
  • Kiss the first person you see

Unfortunate.


Prompt 2:

he problem with a Town like this is that now that color is starting to return, bit by bit? You never really know when color’s going to come back -- or disappear. Maybe you’ve made a delightful, delicious sandwich from handmade bread and tomatoes and deer meat, all of which have color now… and then suddenly, when taking a bite, you get only the taste of ash and bread and tomato as the deer meat loses color.

Also, someone probably died for that color to fade away. Alarming!

Or maybe you’re walking along when suddenly your makeshift clothing is a hideous mix-match of colors; it had seemed fine when it was all grey and colorless!

Or perhaps, even worse, you’re walking out of a house when suddenly, the flowerbed in front of it has full color, bright and maybe a little blinding after so much monochrome. Damn those color mechanics.


Prompt 3:

he quest seems simple, on the Quest Post:

Quest 33:
Feed the Cockatrice.
Requirements: 2 of any color

Key word, of course, is seems. First, you have to find the cockatrice. Maybe grab someone to drag into the woods with you, since there needs to be at least two of you. Time to stomp through the woods in search of the elusive cockatrice.

Of course, once you find it, the quest...looks a bit harder. The monster hisses, ready to turn anyone who approaches to stone, as cockatrice tend to do. What do you even feed that thing? How will you get it to take it without getting stoned up? There are so many questions.

At least the stone will wear off...eventually… if you’re unlucky enough to get petrified.


Prompt 4:

ut hey, you did it! You fed the cockatrice, it seemed satisfied, and now you can go fetch your reward from your home. It must be something amazing, with the work that you put in.

The only change in your home, though, is what looks like a...picture book. It's got a colorful cover (in your character's color shade), and has their name on the cover, so it definitely belongs to them.

And when they flip it open, it's clearly full of pictures scribbled in, as if drawn in scribbly crayon. Unlike the rest of the Town, this book is fully colorful, every shade of the rainbow in those crayon strokes... which depict, page by page, your character's worst moments in their life. Every single last horrific experience or tragic moment -- it's all there, in colorful, cute children's drawings.

Congratulations!

[He's got a..................hair trigger temper. Anyway. Ling sighs back here so I guess he's sighing at Josuke's ass, sorry.]

Then what?
moochobliged: (fma1709)

[personal profile] moochobliged 2018-04-30 01:25 am (UTC)(link)
[He's going to be served a charred husk with a still beating heart inside, isn't he... Well, he can't say no to friendship kindness, so-!!]

Okay, okay, it's a plan! There's supposed to be a harbor somewhere out past the blue houses, isn't there...?

[did greed ask anyone for directions like at all, or?]
youwillbeunequaled: (s perhaps he's messing with you)

[personal profile] youwillbeunequaled 2018-04-30 01:28 am (UTC)(link)
... [He thinks you were, boy. All the same, he tries to smile reassuringly.]

There is no need to be so startled. [Seeing as he hadn't answered his question, Tonbokiri looks around for himself. Mm. Seems he's alone. Squaring his shoulders and facing the boy he nods his head.]

I am called Tonbokiri, one of the Three Great Spears of Japan.

[ ooc: do you want kisskun or fightkun ]

Oh ... [ He got jumpy for a second there. It's just that with the way he looks, people tend to get the wrong idea about him. He can't even go into a baby store without people thinking he's a scoundrel who knocked up some girl. Sad! ]

But it's a pretty weird house, huh? Can't believe there's someone who likes candy enough to live in it. Or maybe they're a huge fan of the fairytale?
nipzips: (take up shelter in the base of my spine)

[personal profile] nipzips 2018-04-30 01:33 am (UTC)(link)
Then we'll gather them and fry them somehow. [ D'uh!!! Oh, but he's catching on that Ling's a bit incredulous of his amazing plan. ]

Hey, what's with that tone? You don't think it's a good plan, do you? [ Trust him! He's smort and he has a big, muscley ghost! ]
cupiditates: but THINGS ... things are forever (talk; look kid love fades)

[personal profile] cupiditates 2018-04-30 01:33 am (UTC)(link)
Got it in one, kiddo.

[He pushes a hand through her hair again, shoving her mildly.]

Hey, what about here? Show me your skills.

[Your skills in breaking and entering a rather modest looking shop . . .]
inheritance: (84)

[personal profile] inheritance 2018-04-30 01:33 am (UTC)(link)
You're not wrong. [Izuku says softly, a frown still pulling at his lips.] That doesn't mean it's right for them to take it out on you and the other wolves.

Lashing out always makes things worse.
moochobliged: (fma1713)

[personal profile] moochobliged 2018-04-30 01:36 am (UTC)(link)
I've just never seen anyone punch a fish before! But if you're sure, I can't say no to my savior.

[his savior, Josuke. if he starves it's on you.]
observitude: (charles - empty bottle full bag)

[personal profile] observitude 2018-04-30 01:37 am (UTC)(link)
[Oopsy-doopsy, he’s been caught! Only not really — not completely.]

That’s part of it. I’m only into vore on Tuesdays. But some days you just feel like a Gretel.

[LET HIM BE A GOOD SISTER despite the fact that he’s never had a good example of that.]

Besides, you’d be rescued by me anyway.
theshowsover: (welcome to the end of eras)

[personal profile] theshowsover 2018-04-30 01:39 am (UTC)(link)
[Well, that went about as well as could be expected.

Joker would love to go aid his poor senpai, but the cockatrice is the more pressing problem. Now satisfied that Haru is on the ground, it turns its attention back on Joker, and gives out an ugly cry before it comes running toward him, claws out.

He jumps back and pulls off his mask.]


Arsene!

[Arsene appears behind him, and he points at the cockatrice. Arsene flicks his fingers, and a Dream Needle pierces into the monster.

With a fading cry, it slumps to the ground, asleep.

Akira hurries over to Haru to try to right her.]
inheritance: (88)

[personal profile] inheritance 2018-04-30 01:42 am (UTC)(link)
Um... [Sure, let's go with that.] It's something like that.

Unfortunately...no. There's a library, but it's not going to be helpful. Whatever happened to the color in this town affects the books, too. They're all blank.

[Trust him, he checked.]
relieable: (you can trust me)

[personal profile] relieable 2018-04-30 01:43 am (UTC)(link)
Fine, fine! I'm okay with clucking as long as I get some clucking treasure. Right, right? [nudges the kid with his elbow]
nipzips: (that i need to i want to)

[personal profile] nipzips 2018-04-30 01:43 am (UTC)(link)
[ This guy may look timid but when determined, he has a really dependable air to him. So much like Koichi. ]

Huh. I only just got here but I feel 'ya. They can bring it! I'll kick whoever's ass they throw at me.

[ Shonen MCs being shonen MCs. A day in the life. Anyway, with how little they actually know about who or what they're facing, he also kind of feels like he's making an empty proclamation. Josuke definitely needs to learn more about what's going on. Before all that, though ... ]

Oh, I forgot to introduce myself before -- Name's Josuke. And you are?
flortissimo: (Daisy; innocence)

[personal profile] flortissimo 2018-04-30 01:43 am (UTC)(link)
An ocean... you were looking for one?

[ ... she does not want to outright ask the obvious question here. ]
swordfucker: (25)

[personal profile] swordfucker 2018-04-30 01:46 am (UTC)(link)
Wow. I guess I lost pretty hard.

[Deadpan... He's putting minimal effort into legitimately pretending he lost that instead of just didn't try. He's gathering up stray fish from the dock into the bag!]

Like I said, you're the winner. Ready to go?
inheritance: commission; DNS (108)

[personal profile] inheritance 2018-04-30 01:48 am (UTC)(link)
Ah...about that. Everything's basically been grey since we first arrived, but some of the color's come back!

[Izuku frowns, cupping his chin in one hand.] You think it's a curse?
underworldpianist: (saeki38)

[personal profile] underworldpianist 2018-04-30 01:49 am (UTC)(link)
[ ooc: i'll leave that up to you. He can do either ]

[ Saeki steps a bit closer to the house, touching the wall with the tips of his fingers, trying to chip a bit of hardtack with his thumbnail to see if it was really candy. ]

Maybe... I'm surprised it's still standing. You'd think most of it would melt or wear away in the weather. It won't last long.
nipzips: (man)

[personal profile] nipzips 2018-04-30 01:49 am (UTC)(link)
[ ooc: also josukes already affected so UHHH do you want kissing or fighting.... ]

Only on Tuesdays, huh. [ While he could assume this is just a joke, he also happens to know a ton of weirdos so he's learned to expect the unexpected. There are too many whackjobs out there in the world. ]

I see. I'll be depending on you then, sis ... [ Tired, so tired. What kind of weird roleplay is this. He's still curious about the house so he is going to hover a little closer toward the door, seeing if it's locked. ]
observitude: (c - would you kindly)

[personal profile] observitude 2018-04-30 01:50 am (UTC)(link)
That’d be nice.

[Really nice. Too nice, as he’s seen time and time again...but maybe that was his fault.]

Maybe I wasn’t the best, because I kept coming to the conclusion that my protagonist would be more relatable and lovable if she faced hardships. You always want to root for the hero through their struggles, don’t you? It connects you. A rival character is compelling, too, but it’s easy to give them negative traits so your protagonist shines more. But as you can imagine...that makes things much more difficult for that beloved character, hm?
relieable: until your penis crawled into my ear (it was relaxing)

three and sorry

[personal profile] relieable 2018-04-30 01:50 am (UTC)(link)
[Osomatsu has arrived on the scene in some kind of colorless makeshift hazmat suit. he's not taking any chances. after his last encounter in the woods went totally wrong, he wants to go into this prepared! he approaches Saeki, breathing lowly through the suit. looking menacing.

and then he takes off the helmet and starts talking]


Maaaaan, it's hot as hell in this thing! I'm sweatin' like a pig in here!

[meet your quest partner]

What'd you say? I couldn't hear you in there.
totheno1: (91)

1

[personal profile] totheno1 2018-04-30 01:51 am (UTC)(link)
[...what is she doing. Is this some sort effect from the woods? He wouldn't put it past considering everything that has happened before.]

Miss...are you certain this is a good idea?

[For one Kei has a sword tied to his back. For another, he can sense her Persona.]
underworldpianist: (saeki14)

never apologize for osomatsu

[personal profile] underworldpianist 2018-04-30 01:54 am (UTC)(link)
[ Oh, this already looks like it's going to be ... an adventure. This guy isn't prepared at all if what they're looking for happens to be a beast. Ah, well, he'll make due either way. He's not one to complain. ]

Ah, nevermind. I feel like the best question I could ask is 'Can you run fast?'. If we're lucky, this will be an easy job, but if we're dealing with something more monstrous... well...
glassescollection: (Default)

Re: Nice

[personal profile] glassescollection 2018-04-30 01:55 am (UTC)(link)
Yes.

[It is a very blunt reply because while he is glad to see Eichi...why does he now have to tell you what not to put in your mouth?

With a sigh he approaches his friend, exhausted himself. When he's close to him he looks him over worrying if he he's okay.]


I didn't think you had, you look okay... [His voice trails off.]
relieable: (asking for a friend)

i feel like i always have to

[personal profile] relieable 2018-04-30 02:01 am (UTC)(link)
[can he run fast...? that's a good question. depends on the motivation]

Eh? You really think we're gonna be dealing with some type of monster?
tosa: neutral (Default)

[personal profile] tosa 2018-04-30 02:03 am (UTC)(link)
( Because

1. Mutsu likes kids
2. Mutsu doesn't discriminate

A kid wants to go on a mission and it all sounds easy enough? No problem. Except now it's become pretty obvious that a cockatrice isn't the same thing as a cockatiel and maybe this was a mistake. Isn't that his life, though? Everything seeming like a good idea until it ends up being a bit of a mistake? But hey! It always works out in the end.
)

Yeah. ( Just... yeah. That sure is the cockatrice. ) Pretty ugly, huh?

( It's more than that but what's a little bit of humor when up against some monsters? He's seen worse. )

It'd be easy enough to take it down but dead guys don't do much eating so. ( His hand is on his sword, ready to draw it at any moment, ) Ready? What d'ya wanna do? Distract it or try to feed it?

( All they have is some actually dusty bread. )
